Part of what makes Tim and me excited for our next trip are all the adventure activities we get to experience. And all the different types of wine we end up savoring, of course. We’re definitely not as nimble as we were 10 years ago, but that has never stopped us from finding the next […]
Andorra: The Best Ski Holiday You Never Heard Of
Andorra is tucked snugly in the Pyrenees between France and Spain. It’s one of those tiny countries we honestly didn’t know much about, and for many years the draw was simply to check it off on our quest to visit every country in Europe. I nearly booked a day trip two years ago when I […]
5 French Bucket List Adventures
With a new home in the southwest of France for the next year or so, Exodus Travels asked me which French bucket list adventures I’d love to check off my list. Eternal planner that I am (when it comes to all things travel, anyway), I already have a list of my must-dos while I call […]
Winter Adventures in Bormio
The Alps are home to some incredible winter adventure destinations and Bormio, Italy is definitely one of them. Located in Italy’s Lombardy region, Bormio is just across the Swiss border from the far more expensive St. Moritz, yet offers world-class skiing and a variety of winter adventure activities to keep both skiers and non-skiers entertained. […]
Winter Adventures in Whitefish, Montana
When I’d tell just about anyone where my next trip was, they’d give me the once over to make sure I hadn’t fallen off my rocker while exclaiming: “Why would you go to Montana in winter?!” Did they know something I didn’t? It wasn’t like I was declaring I was trekking solo across the frozen […]
Unforgettable Winter Adventures in Swedish Lapland
Swedish Lapland is magical in the winter. Snow that sparkles like a sea of diamonds, spotting herds of reindeer, trees so heavy with snow that they dip precariously toward the ground, and green curtains dancing across the night sky. There’s a thrill to stepping off the plane at the tiny airport and spotting the negative […]
Massif des Aravis Ski Getaway
A secret the French have long kept to themselves, the four linked villages that make up Massif des Aravis are destined to be discovered. The pretty, rustic French villages of the Haute-Savoie where the velvety Reblochon cheese has been produced for centuries seep charm and one ski pass covers some 150 pistes no more than […]
Snowmobile Safari to the Sampo Icebreaker
Finland is the only country in the world in which all of its sea ports freeze in the winter time. Keeping those sea ports operational in wintertime is essential to Finland’s import and export industry. Icebreakers take on this task, plowing channels for ships to traverse the Baltic Sea, even in the coldest winters. The […]
A Dog Sledding Adventure in Svalbard
If our snowmobile safari across Svalbard didn’t make us feel like Arctic explorers, learning to mush with a team of huskies across Svalbard’s glaciers and frozen fjords sure did! We hear the 50 or so huskies that live at the Svalbard Husky dog yard before we even pile out of the Jeeps. I think the […]
Snowmobile Safari Across Svalbard
We arrived in Svalbard less than 24 hours before and we’d already heard the buzz about polar bear paw prints that had been spotted just 1 kilometer outside of Longyearbyen. As I pulled on my layers that morning for our snowmobile safari across Svalbard, I prayed we would get our chance to spot a polar […]
